Elecraft CW Net preliminary rpt

Wow folks,
Our experiment worked. On twenty meters we checked in 14 folks from:
AZ, CO, ND, MO, CT, VA, IN, ON, NY, WV, and MA. There were a few times it
was tough to pull out a call since there were so many at once. Signals
were very good with only a couple cases of QSB. While I thaw some chicken
I thought it would be nice to tell you of our success. Sam (the cat) will
get a large part of the chicken tonight but he needs to be coddled. His
kidneys are failing and he misses his mom something awful. Well I miss
her too but I get the feed us both :) It will be lonely when he is gone.
But I always have you all on the air!
Kevin. KD5ONS (on KP duty)

See you later on forty.

Well, I tried to check in. I heard Kevin (most of the time) and maybe 2
other stations. I guess I'll have to wait until I get a real antenna.

NEVER GIVE UP! Conditions weren't the best tonight... on EITHER net
for that matter.

There were several(!) stations who attempted to dump their calls in
once (or twice) but didn't seem to want to stick around long enough
for Kevin (or me) to acknowledge them. Just because you don't get
thru on the first couple attempts, DO NOT ASSUME that you're not
being heard... you may just be the 3rd or 4th level down and we often
tend to pick up the strongest (or fastest) first when then work our
way down the list. SO at least give it the old college try several
more times before assuming you're not going to be heard.

And, for those others who DO get through... if you hear someone
attempting to QNI (check in) and neither Kevin nor I (nor anyone
else) is acknowledging them, PLEASE dump YOUR call in (again) and
relay (QSP) that other station when once you're acknowledged by the
NCS at that time.

73,

Re: Elecraft CW Net preliminary rpt

Hi Tom,

Just letting you know that I did hear you faintly here in icy LI, NY. I took
a stab at it but I don't even think my neighbors heard me. Correction, I'll
clarify and state my "nextdoor neighbors" as it occurs to me that a ham
radio ops' neighbors can be halfway-round the globe. What a great
hobby/service! Take care es...
